Climpy is settlement and locality in South Lanarkshire.[1] It is north-west of Forth and south of Fauldhouse.

History

The area was historically used for mining, with a large open cast coal mine.[2] The first homes were built in 1798 to accommodate workmen for the mines.[2] In 1869, the mine was connected by a mineral railway line that joined the Wilsontown, Morningside and Coltness Railway from Wilsontown railway station.[3][4] In 1804, the Wilson brothers acquired coal rights in Climpy from the local Crawford family increasing mining operations.[3] By 1807, the Climpy coal field had been surveyed by with a quantity of workable coal exceeding "2,724,000 tons, with only 100,000 wrought out."[3]

Climpy House was a manor house, walled garden and park estate built for the Crawford family in the early 1800s but was demolished by 1895.[5][6]

In the mid 19th century, a brick and tile works operated in Climpy.[7]
